Monrovia, Liberia; March 6, 2026: The Government of Liberia, in partnership with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), will on March 12, 2026, dedicate a newly completed prefabricated solar-powered cold storage facility for fish mongers in Robertsport City, Grand Cape Mount County. The dedication marks a major step forward in improving the livelihoods of fishing communities and strengthening local value chains under the Accelerated Community Development Programme (ACDP). Its solar-powered system ensures reliable, clean, and cost-effective cold storage for fish products, reducing post-harvest losses and increasing income for community members, especially women whose livelihoods depend on fishing. “This facility brings hope to our fishing families,” said Ma Sao Kromah, head of the Robertsport Women Association. “The Robertsport solar-powered cold storage facility is not just a structure, it is a symbol of empowerment for women and the fishing community, resilience, and progress.
